Rebirth in the Apocalypse: Winning 30 Million at the Start

Chapter 28: Have You Ever Thought About It?

Li Yu's words cut into Liu Huamei's heart like knives, one by one.

If it were false, she might have objected, but Li Yu was stating facts. Instantly, a feeling of helplessness welled up in her heart.

If only she had listened to Li Yu back then! If only she hadn't saved those people! If only...

Unfortunately, in this world, there's no medicine for regret. Everyone must face the consequences of their own actions.

"But, but we were kind-hearted and deceived by them. We had good intentions, didn't we?!" Liu Huamei shouted hoarsely.

Apart from a few zombies nearby, some zombies in the forest were already being attracted by the noise here, slowly approaching.

"Not my problem!" Li Yu said indifferently.

"Then, then we were indeed wrong. Please let me in, please save my father! Are you just going to stand by and watch them kill people?" Liu Huamei's face was contorted with pain, as if bearing some great suffering.

"Not your problem!" Li Yu was sparing with his words.

Liu Huamei had anticipated that Li Yu might not save them, but when faced with reality, she still couldn't accept it. Seeing Li Yu's unyielding attitude, she remembered what her father had said before she left, to beg Li Yu's uncle, as he might save them.

A flash of new hope appeared in her eyes as she turned to Liu Jianwen and said, "Uncle Liu, please, my father has worked with you for so many years. For the sake of all those years, please help us?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Jianwen's hand holding the cigarette trembled. A flash of guilt crossed his mind as he looked at Li Yu with a pleading expression: "Xiaoyu, why don't we let her in and go save Old Liu?"

Seeming to think of something, he suddenly stopped and said, "This... ah, forget I said anything." His eyes were full of struggle.

Hearing this, Li Yu's mood instantly became somber.

His uncle probably didn't understand the human nature in the apocalypse yet. He had a sense of justice and wanted to save his colleague of many years, which was understandable.

After seeing more in the future, he might understand the reason behind Li Yu's actions.

But now, Liu Huamei was using his uncle, putting him on the hot seat. Was she trying to sow discord between him and his uncle, forcing his hand?

Li Yu hated being threatened the most.

His face instantly turned ashen, his gaze coldly fixed on Liu Huamei, as if remembering something.

He calmly said, "There's a saying: those who gather firewood for the people should not freeze in the wind and snow. But this is in the cruel apocalypse, and besides, you didn't gather firewood for me. On the contrary, you threatened me, and now you're trying to morally blackmail me?"

"Don't you find it laughable? Or do I look like an idiot to you?"

"I save people, but I only save people who are not foolish, who know when to advance and retreat, who are useful to me." Li Yu's words floated into everyone's ears.

His uncle seemed to have some realization and finally sighed. He turned his head away, no longer looking at the base of the wall.

At the base of the wall, Liu Huamei saw the uncle turn his head away. The last glimmer of hope in her heart was extinguished, replaced by an overwhelming sense of despair.

After despair came extreme resentment.

She hated, she hated everyone, she hated the village secretary and his people, she hated Li Yu, she hated Liu Jianwen, she hated everyone.

The transformation from justice to evil happened in an instant.

Now she wished everyone would die.

Suddenly, she laughed.

"Hahahahaha, Li Yu, I curse you to die a horrible death! Liu Jianwen, you're just a hypocrite too, hehe, nothing but a selfish bastard!"

She laughed maniacally, without restraint.

The surrounding zombies were attracted by the laughter, swarming over.

But Liu Huamei didn't care about the zombies around her at all. Instead, she turned on the siren of the riot control vehicle.

Beep-

The loud sound of the riot control vehicle pierced the quiet night sky.

Damn! Li Yu looked at this woman who seemed to have gone mad.

Just as he was about to take action, Liu Huamei drove the vehicle towards the gate, attempting to ram it open.

Bang!

The riot control vehicle crashed into the gate, making a huge noise.

But how could this gate be so easily rammed open? Li Yu had considered the possibility of someone trying to break in when he built it. So he spent a great deal of money to reinforce this gate. The surrounding wall was also thickened and reinforced with concrete and red bricks to an astonishing degree.

Seeing the gate standing firm, Liu Huamei reversed to ram it again!

Whoosh!

Without any hesitation!

Li Yu took the crossbow from his uncle's hand and fired an arrow.

The arrow hit Liu Huamei's head squarely,

A fatal blow!

The vehicle stopped, but the siren continued. Li Yu glanced at his uncle, who was also stunned by this series of events.

This, how could this person change so quickly! She was begging just now, and now she wanted revenge.

Fortunately, they didn't let her in!

But what about the siren now? If it keeps ringing, it will attract more zombies. Although the zombies basically can't break through, the thought of having so many zombies surrounding the wall constantly was very troublesome!

It must be turned off!

Without a word, Li Yu turned on the ultra-bright searchlight! Shining it towards the zombie horde.

He immediately came down from the watchtower. His uncle seemed to wake up from a trance and hurriedly followed.

"Second Uncle, you stay up there and watch, don't come down. Use the crossbow to shoot from above! Dad, you help us open and close the door later," Li Yu said when he saw them wanting to come down too.

Fortunately, besides the main gate, there was also a 1.5-meter wide small door on the side.

Because last time they considered that opening the door might be easily breached. So behind the large and small doors, using leftover construction materials, they built a square small passage, establishing a door within a door, double doors, for extra security.

After the three of them opened the inner door, they approached the small door. Looking up, they saw Second Uncle's signal. There were no zombies outside the small door for now.

In an instant, Li Yu rushed out.

With a submachine gun on his back and two knives swinging in his hands, zombies fell wherever he passed. Bullets were too precious, and there weren't that many zombies. He didn't want to waste bullets unless absolutely necessary!

His uncle, following closely behind, also joined in slashing zombies, looking extremely dedicated. This mistake was his, and he wanted to make amends!

Upstairs, Second Uncle was continuously shooting distant zombies with the crossbow.

Soon, the two downstairs reached the riot control vehicle. Li Yu got in the car while Liu Jianwen slashed the zombies rushing over nearby. Li Yu quickly turned off the siren and then pulled out the car key.

This was a good car, but they couldn't drive it in now. There were too many zombies. They would come out to drive it in when there were fewer zombies.

After pulling out the key, Li Yu darted out of the car like a leopard and kicked the car door shut.

The two fought and retreated, quickly reaching the small door. Li Hongyuan opened the small door, and the two instantly went in.

Bang!

Li Hongyuan hurriedly closed the door!

At this point, they were finally safe. His uncle's face was covered in sweat, dripping onto the ground. What had just happened took less than a minute, but it felt like a century had passed.

Extreme operation. His uncle looked at Li Yu with admiration. Li Yu's reaction speed, movements, and even physical fitness were much stronger than anyone he had seen in reality.

The night sky seemed to have quieted down a bit. The zombies outside the wall initially let out angry howls, but after failing to find targets, they slowly dispersed without making a sound.

Li Yu led his uncle into the inner door, then immediately sat down on the ground.

Sweat had soaked through both of their clothes. Li Yu took out cigarettes from his pocket, gave one to his uncle, and lit it for him.

Slowly exhaling smoke, it dispersed.

The night seemed to have become much quieter.

Suddenly,

Li Yu said, "Have you ever thought about it?

What would happen if we let the village secretary in?

What would happen if we saved that woman?

What would happen if the door wasn't so sturdy?

What would happen if you or I got bitten just now?"

Hearing this, Liu Jianwen, who had been lowering his head since entering,

Thought of some consequences, and instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

The cigarette in his hand was also trembling, unable to hold it steady anymore.

"Xiaolue would die, aunt would die, grandpa and grandma would die, I would die, you would die, everyone might die!" Li Yu mercilessly tore off that fig leaf.

As if completely tearing open a person's wound, exposing it thoroughly!
